Optus have today announced a new set of BYO month-to-month plans for the growing number of people who are buying their phones outright rather than signing up to a 24-month plan. They don’t offer exceedingly good value, but they do provide access to Optus’ 4G network and the freedom of not being locked into a contract. You also get to take advantage of the perks that Optus provides to its customers such as $10 movie tickets to Hoyts and selected independent cinemas, and the ability to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points.
- $20 per month: $200 included value plus 200MB mobile data
- $40 per month: $500 included value, unlimited national SMS and 1GB mobile data
- $60 per month (on a 12-month contract): Unlimited national calls and SMS, 2GB data
Why they’ve included a 12-month contract in their month-to-month plans is beyond me, but it actually seems like the best value of the lot. To check out their plans in more detail, head over to Optus’ website.
